Black Ice

I've walked on black ice

And I have slipped

I walk on egg shells

When I know

I'm eloquent

I've been through blackouts

Hoping they were dreams

I've been some places

Where I'd rather not be seen

My time is rooted

In the hope of things

Too many years now

Hostilities, mercies

The only woman

Who takes me for

Reasons that we share

Keep me coming back for more

We might not be perfect

But she's my best friend

We will be searching

Together till the end

I'll write the story

Those things

I need to say

There's some people

Who have wished

I'd go away

Can't see the future

And I don't have the past

There's one thing

I do knowThat it all goes bad too fast

The only woman

Who takes me for

The reasons that we share

Keep be coming back for more

We might not be perfect

But she's my best friend

We will be searching

Together, forever, till the end
